Rules for Radical Mental Health

If you have an itch, scratch it.  If you have a doubt of something, investigate it.

Knowing there is something you need to now learn, has half the battle won.

Well prepared people make their own "luck".

People who only talk about themselves - aren't going anywhere in this world.

If the other person cheats like hell, but you still win the match, be assured that the loser of this game will complain the loudest of all the "bad losers" out there.

If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to either leave, or ignore

People who say “Experience is not important” don’t want to be trusted.

He who writes in blood, miracululasly increases the literacy rate of jackasses.

Power flows out of the barrel of a policeman’s gun.  But like Thor’s hammer - - once it’s released- - - he who threw it don’t care how about the power of your little phallic symbol.

If you feel you are somehow being “screwed over” you probably are being.  You just haven’t figured out how to prove it yet.

If a person with a proclivity tword lying dislikes your Isogetic Standards - - tell him that you’re doing him a favor, and have already affording him too much grace that he has abused.

John Boehner and the tea party may not commit technical grammatical lies- - but they are lying to the Universe- - and your sixth grade teacher won’t be there to defend you on Judgement Day.  Ambiguity and verbal slight of hand - - is just lying by another Method.  (Selah)

Just as the Ninth amendment asserts “un-numerated rights” there are un-numerate rules of human decency.  Don’t betray a confidence, don’t twist a person’s words around in knots when you relate them to others.  Don’t play football with an extra decoy ball simply because it might not be in the rule book.  Don’t get out of the pool while playing Marco Polo.  Don’t spit on my cup cakes and say that it’s frosting.  Don’t use a forked tongue or ambiguities in your words while making a sales deal, and expect the other party won’t get offended when they find out.

If you give a person a Monday deadline to make a decision that doesn’t mean to wake him out of bed at 12:01 and inform him the adverse decision has already been made.

Don’t but in – in disputes between others that are none of your business.

If you bring a friend into your love affair - - that's the end of your Lover - - that's the end of your Friend.  That's when the heartaches begin - Elvis Presley.

Some people call people who kick you when you’re down as cowardly.  I just call them family members- - and other kindred spirits, such as Mitt Romney.

We all live in the Eternal Now.  A person who had on his restaurant window “Free Pizzas tomorrow’ will never have to make good on it.  The same goes for “Free Salvation Tomorrow”.

If the only thing you done was yesterday- - the first question I’d ask myself were I such a person would be “Just at what point did I cease to be Alive?”

John Boehner wants to solve the immigration problem by creating a permanent class of second class citizens and get around the fourteenth amendment, which I’d like to invalidate.

People with one good Reason for fomenting an all out Revolution are clear thinkers.  Those with a hundred good reasons for Revolution - - at this point are just kidding themselves.

Figs are not gathered from thistles.  Neither are Sheldon Adelson and Koch Brothers tea party recruits gathered from Hippies of 1970.  For Chuck Smith to say otherwise- - is in essence lying to God.  And God does not take kindly to people lying to him and lets them know it.

If you lend someone a parachute- don’t ask for it back while he’s in the middle of a jump.

This financial commercial on the radio says that borrowers have it made, while savers get the shaft.  So what keeps people from self administering “the shaft” when they have other options?   It’s a logical deducable fact that rich hoarders aren’t playing by the rules.

If “thinking outside the box” consists of things like cheating consumers with tricky packaging and selling cigarettes to my children, - - then we need to get rid of this axiom.

What’s the difference between an Ape and a Calvary Chapel Born Again Christian.  That’s simple.  Apes don’t know how to speak English.

Jewish converts to Christianity are a Denarius a dozen.  (inflation and all)  But I got the current Pope to “agree to any means I might use” to secure enough metal to erect a bronze statue in his honor.  So of course now I go around looking for Roman Denarii to melt down.

It was Ayan Rand who made the statement, “When I die it isn’t me but the World that dies”.  If you declare the Jewish Law as dead and call it piety - - then don’t be offended when God sticks up a rod up your ass and declares to the on-looking crowd, “Look folks, he’ moving”

Behold it is said of old, “If you cannot be responsible handeling the goods of others, who shall give you what is Your Own?”  The answer is simple.  An honest person.  And if the cops refuse to arrest the guy I’ll goo out and contract with a member of the Mafia who will.

Mitt Romney slammed down his Bible in disgust when he read the verse about “Behold the sinners and tax collectors are going to paradise ahead of you”.   “Taxes are cur cutting, my friend!”  Some people are of a different point of view.  They say that 100% is too high and zero % is too low.  When Mitt Romney heard this he declared "At that rate (of zero) all the rich corporations would languish!

He who lies, sins against his own Soul.  But that doesn't bother some people - - because if they didn't create it- and don't care where it came from or how it got here - then I guess it must be destroyed so it doesn't compete with my vision of a monolithic America.

Pick the one Andromadan out the following list - - James Taylor, Arlo Gutherie, John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, or Paul Simon.  What if your eternal salvation depended on how you answered this question?   And now The Band will play me off stage as I exit.

Solidarity with the Universe

I don't like doing rewrites but this posting got deleted last night before it was even published.  I pushed a key and the thing went "poof!" and I couldn't get it back.  There are a number of freakazoid things that have been occuring like this lately like KTLK having their "production and engineering' problems this morning with us getting some promo for a Chicago radio station from Stephanie Miller I don't think we were supposed to hear.  Of course KPOJ in Portland's radio format went bye bye yesterday just like Stephanie warned us about.  But Mal Evans told me to do last night's thing over just as we had really intended it.  So we kick off with some Joan Baez lines from a 1965 song.  Joan Bias is an Andromeda D as you may know.  Other female singers of the period of note who were Andromadan are Mama Cass, Cher, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick - and the lead singer who preceded her, Christie Mc Vee, Stevie Nicks,, and also Mary from Peter, Paul, and Mary.  Female singers of the period who are other than Andromadan include Jackie De Shannon, Melanie, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Dion Warwick, Lulu, and Dusty Springfield.

Show me the prison, snow me the jail,

Show me the young man- whose life has gone stale

And I'll show you a young man- with so many reasons why

There but for fortune- go you, and go I

Show me the whiskey stains on the floor

Show me the drunkard- as he stumbled out the door

And I'll show you a young man- with so many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you and go I

Some may wonder whether this phrase of Catholics in particular of "There but for the grace of God go I" refers possible to "what if we had been born into another time line in a parrellel universe.  Sometimes you wonder whether you have women up and find yourself in a parrellel universe.  Tea party members might regard as "the morning after' in this case, November 7th as like some horrible hangover they'd just as soon forget.  Sometimes we think one freaky day that "The stars must be out of allignment' or something.  But Stu and Mal agree that we owe no allegence to anyone in a parrellel universe, and they owe no allegence to us.  Mal reminded me last night "sometimes you think things are "jut not right' and you must have woken up in a parrellel universe" but he assures me this just Can't happen.  But yesterday Mal Evans gave a distasteful example of "non empathy" that has been condemned by a whole lot of people.  Mal said that this guy who melted down all these war monuments for their scrap metal content- - was "excercising a logical result of an economic need- and bears no emotional allegence to the people for whom the monument was dedicated- - no matter how harrowing the battle comemorated was.  Because for a twenty year old today - - it's as unlikely to "identify" with someone from a World War II battle- as in your generation (referring to this writer) would in identifying with a battle from the Crimean War or something in the 19th century in Russia.  I would like to again quote the statement Captain Piccard made when he allegedly encountered a guy from "the Future".  He told him "I don't give a damn about YOUR future or how a decision I make Today might affect YOU - - I am concerned about Today- - and today I have a decision to make".  Mal then went on to relate an incident from a movie we all know about.  Some Hebrew slaves in Egypt spied the temple grainaries and one slave said to another "Do you suppose we could raid that and get food to eat" and another said "I don't know- - it depends what's really in there" and another said "Temple grainaries are full" and it came to pass that they opened up the sacred temple graimeries to feed the masses.  Jesus related a story of how King David took the Temple show bread to feed his hungry men with, so they could fight better.  The Bible actually makes provision for this in the OT about "taking back your sacrifice to God" but then paying back one fifth again as much, when you make restitution.  Mal also reminded me that after Moses smashed the gold tablets, that Moses had to wait an equally long period again on Mt Sinai to again receive God's Law - - and having received it yet again, found that not one word of it had been changed.  There is a lesson here to learn.

But we do owe our solidarity to this universe.  We are team players.  And an individual member should not seek his own Glory at the expense of overall team cohesion and performance.  Occasionally a player should take a hit to his own Ego, and help out another team mate and make HIM look better today, if it's for the overall benefit of the team.  Personally I would not want to trade places with James Dobson or Fred Price or John Mc Arthur.  I've thought about what it might be like to be as respected and influencial as these men are.  But they are not me and I don't want to be Them.  You don't lend aid to another because you are in tea party lingo "Surrendering to their Socialist demands to obtain your wealth for themselves".  No, you help out another because it is the right thing to do as a "team player". Capish?  We don't owe our allegence to another Universe.  But we do owe our solidarity with this Universe.  That Arab thing suggested I do a rewrite when I originally wrote "Show your Solidarith with Mike Bloomfield by supporting the Chicago Bears in tonight's game".  They lost, of course.  For some reason the software wanted me to say rather "Our Solidarity".  I meant what I meant.  I wasn't addressing the remark to myself; I was addressing it to YOU for You to do".  Capish?  Of course one KTLK host pointed out that "Some Christian's views of Heaven- - - or views on "The way things ought to be" seem to have no basis in This universe or ANY logical conceivable Universe.  Because these Christians run their mouths and yet have no logical conception of the things they are talking about- - and if they were ever held accountable to explain any of it, would be up a creek without a paddle.  Some people who would almost put it in physics terms of "Having to pay the Universe back" or stated conversely "The Universe is paying you back for your Deeds be they good or evil".  Personally if there is some "physics' to that- - I don't know what it is.  I guess Karma is something I have always accepted "On Faith" just basing my view on either a hunch- or the credibility of the words of others.

This whole David Petrayas thing is getting messy with the "cat fight" e mails between competing women vying for his affection.  Even my brother, Al, wrote me in an E mail that "Perhaps David Petrayss resigned so he wouldn't have to testify before congress next week".  We all know that when a CIA chief is about to testify like with William Casey under Reagan for instance - - strange things have been known to occur.  Yeah.  Others have speculated that the reason why Mitt Romney dropped the whole Bengazi killing incident as a campaign issue- - when he had a golden plum opportunity to bring it up and bring this President down- - was because he regarded David Petrayas as a hero of the Bush administration and didn't want to say anything against him.  Others and perhaps myself- - are of the oppinion that "some strange force is guiding foreign policy and has been for decades- - that nobody is in control of but a secret elite group, who really run the country".  It's a mess and it's going to get messier.  We all knew something was a little "off" about this female biographer.  People had hunches that "something like this was actually occurring" before the fact.  I'm glad it was all postponed till after the election.  Perhaps the strange FORCE out there that prevented Mitt Romney from bringing up the Bengazi issue in the debate is the same force that prompted Justice Roberts to stab the Tea Party in the back, by going along in saying that Obama Care, and with the "individual mandate' was all Legal.  I don't know.  I remain puzzled by that June supreme court ruling, actually.  But like Paul Simon gang long ago - - "God only know - - God makes his plans - - the Information is unavailable to the common man".

Alan West's Greatest Hits

Alan West was one man sensible people very much wanted defeated at the ballot box, and it's looks like he is and a judge had closed the case saying Alan West lost.  But the truth is that Nicole Sandler believes West might have some kind of viable case to make to get the votes re-counted.

The democrats have won between two and eight seats in the House of Representatives.  Trying to get news out of the Web on this matter is like pulling teeth.  But it seems that six House races are undecided and the Democrats most likely will pick up at least four.  But thankfully some of the worst bad apples will be gone from the next congress.  Some are worried about the fiscal cliff, when in reality if nothing is done the Deficet will be Radically Reduced, which I thought is what these tea party Republicans wanted.  But it is now clear this is NOT what they want.  The President is holding all the cards and if I were he I would just let ALL of the Bush tax cuts expire this year and take up the battle anew "with a blank piece of paper" in the next Congress with slightly more reasonable members.  The truth no major "economic cliff" is coming.  If anything it's a "rolling hill" and for a few weeks we may lose just a smidgen of revenue into the economic system, but nothing that can't be made up.

Rush Limbaugh is still one of these people who sees racial politics as "putting in tokins' so he asks why the Republicans don't get credit for accomplished people like Clarence Thomas and Marco Rubio.  The fact is it's you people who judge people on race.  Our side judges them on their character and their politics.  If you have a Black who's being a real jerk-off there's no reason why any Democrat shouldn't be just as quick to judge that one, as a Republican who does it.  The fact is that I personally believe in things like "character" and "values" and "actions have consequences".  It's the republicans with their TARP money who seem to lack belief in these things.  Florida's governor ought to be in jail for all of that hospital fraud, but he is not.  Mitt Romney should be brought up on insider trading charges for the revelations of last week.  But he isn't.  Why does our side just "let all the crooks go".  I'm almost thinking I'd rather have Bush in office, because prosecutions were more agressive them.

Police are taught to shoot to kill.  Other animals will take only what they regard is "necessary agression' to ward off an agressor or someone who "is bothering them".  Sometimes a casual swipe with a paw will do it, or just a slight snapping motion.  Two people who kill out of pure rage and vengeance are a Apes and the police.  Once they decide to "shoot to kill" the other thing is "the adreneline gets going" and they all fire their guns at once at the suspect, each one firing until his gun is empty, like a man making a love to a woman.  Shooting is almost an equivelant "sexual act" of one "seeking release".  This is how cops see it.  They just don't fire once at a suspect and let it go.  It seems that in most unjust police shooting incidents, the criminal suspect ends up looking like a piece of Swiss Cheese

A farmer works from sun to sun
But a doctor's work is never done
-"Dranny Cwampett"

from the JEHOVAH DISPATCH THE FOLLOWING QUOTE ALLEDGEDLY FROM JOHN KERRY

"Like father, like son,
one two thousand year term - 
and then you're done

from the PALOS VERDIES POST reprint from the diary of one of those Sand Lizzards on Star Wars

"One day you'll look - to see I've gone

Dr. Phil: How's that working out for you?

"Mr President - - could you tell me what gave you the backbone and intestinal fortitude to go out and get Bin Laden?"

"Certainly, from reading a little book I picked up years ago RED WEST'S BIGGEST HITS"

"A man convinced against his Will
Remains of the same mind still"

Putrid words doth Mitt Romney spew out
In his soul- the worms turn his guts into sourkrout

Memo to the Attorney General from Guy Owens:

I want you to be ruthless going after the tea party - violate the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, and eighth amendments, but get it Done!  - and leave no organization chapter left alive, or die in the attempt!

"Sir do you really mean that?"  "It's not important whether he knows whether I mean it or not, it only matters that I know the difference"

-Guy Owens

"So you are a Black and also a Nazi huh?  But what about all the racial genocide you people practiced.  You do you justify it?  As justr another part of war?
"Hell no, in Our Neighborhood - - we just refer to those as Police Actions"

So Mr Obama, I hear you worked for "The Lord of Host" in their medical division for a few centuries a while back.  Tell me, why did you give up such a lucritive post?
"Well, I kept getting slapped with all those Wrongful Life lawsuits after abortions that weren't as successful as intended"
"Well, I guess that must have been bloody work you did?"
"Oh, you DID know I was referring to Spiritual birth, don't you? I guess I functioned as kind of a Holy Spirit abortionist to eliminate unwanted lives"

(1) “YOU ARE NOT A LADY”: In July 2011, West responded to a perceived slight from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (R-FL) with a fiery letter in which he threatened her and scolded, “You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!” West later said he had apologized, but Wasserman-Schultz said she had not received one.

(2) JOSEPH GOEBBELS WOULD “BE VERY PROUD” OF DEMOCRATS: In December, West told reporters, “If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine.” The link to Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945, drew criticism from several members of Congress, the Anti-Defamation League, and others.

(3) LIBERALS “GET THE HELL OUT”: Speaking at the Palm Beach County GOP’s Lincoln Day Dinner in last month, West saidof liberals, “Take your message of equality of achievement. … You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.” West later tried to walk back the statement, claiming he was only referring to “the message” and not liberals themselves.

(4) “A THREAT TO THE GENE POOL”: In a July 2011 post on the website Red Country, West wrote, “I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.”

(5) “I’M GOING TO KILL YOU”: Before running for Congress, West had a 22-year career in the military, but left after he abused an Iraqi detainee: “This is it. I’m going to count to five again, and if you don’t give me what I want, I’m going to kill you.” He then fired a shot “a foot” over the detainee’s head.

(6) “NUTS!”: West has often clashed with opponents over the issue of Islam. In August 2011, a chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked West to sever ties with anti-Muslim activists. In response, West sent a letter which read only, “I am writing to you with regard [sic] your recent letter: NUTS!” Why West chose this response is a mystery, although he might have been quoting a World War II general who responded that way when the Nazis told him to surrender.

(7) “WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE OUR MEN BECOME SUBSERVIENT”: In April 2011, West told a conservative women’s conference that liberal women “have been neutering American men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness — to let them know that we are not going to have our men become subservient. That’s what we need you to do. Because if you don’t, then the debt will continue to grow…deficits will continue to grow.”

(8) “BLINDLY FOLLOWING A COMMANDER IN CHIEF”: Talking with radio host Mark Levin last month, West said Generals “have to be very careful about blindly following a commander in chief that really does not have the best intent for our military.” What West did not mention was that officers are constitutionally bound to follow the President’s orders unless they are illegal.

(9) I AM “THE MODERN-DAY HARRIET TUBMAN”: Speaking with O’Reilly Factor guest host Laura Ingraham in August 2011, West said the Democratic party is a “21st-century plantation.” He added, “So I’m here as the modern-day Harriet Tubman, to kind of lead people on the Underground Railroad, away from that plantation into a sense of sensibility.”

(10) “LET THEM GET SHOT AT”: In May 2011, the House narrowly defeated a proposal which would have required President Obama to submit a timetable for withdrawal from Afghanistan. Of those who voted for the bill, West said, “I would take these gentlemen over and let them get shot at a few times and maybe they’d have a different opinion.” This was just months after the shooting of former Rep. Gabby Giffords.

(11) “WE ALSO SHOULD BE CENSORING THE AMERICAN NEWS AGENCIES”: In response to the whistleblower website Wikileaks releasing thousands of pages of diplomatic cables, West declared: “And I think that we also should be censoring the American news agencies which enabled [Julian Assange] to do this and also supported him and applauding him for the efforts.” West later claimed he only called for “censuring” the media. Either way, it would be a First Amendment violation.

(12) “I DON’T KNOW IF IT WAS A KIDNAPPING ATTEMPT”: When West first ran for Congress in 2008, the Arab news network Al Jazeera asked for an interview. West recalled, “But my b.s. flag really went up when [Al Jazeera] said they wanted my address, to pick me up at night. They said they would send a car but wouldn’t tell me where it was going. I don’t know if it was a kidnapping attempt. But I am not going to entrust Al Jazeera with my life. I said, ‘Cancel the interview!’”

(13) RELIGIOUS COEXISTENCE “WOULD GIVE AWAY OUR COUNTRY”: During a March 2011 town hall, West talked about the “Coexist” movement, saying of their bumper stickers: “Every time I see one of those bumper stickers, I look at the person inside that is driving. Because that person represents something that would give away our country. Would give away who we are, our rights and freedoms and liberties because they are afraid to stand up and confront that which is the antithesis, anathema of who we are.”

(14) “GEORGE BUSH GOT SNOOKERED”: During the same town hall, West claimed: “George Bush got snookered into going into some mosque, taking his shoes off, and then saying that Islam was a religion of peace.”

(15) DEMOCRATS SUPPORT “MOST INSIDIOUS FORM OF SLAVERY”: Just yesterday, West accused Democrats of supporting the worst form of slavery known today. “The Democratic appetite for ever-increasing redistributionary handouts is in fact the most insidious form of slavery remaining in the world today,” West said.

Buenos Nuevos

Esta característica poco agradable le permite traducir fácilmente del Inglés al español, que no sé por valor de frijoles. Mientras estoy aquí yo también podría congradulate gente española para votar a favor de dar a nuestro presidente un segundo mandato. Veteranos Feliz día. Siempre hemos apoyado a nuestros soldados. Espero que esta característica me impide hacer un culo más de mí mismo en un intento de traducir más Inglés al Español, como he intentado en el pasado. Entonces, ¿cómo se dice "buena nueva"?

"Se puede leer esta?

OK I made my point.  I discovered the Google translator. They asked me if I wanted to translate it back and I said no.  Here's a decoding update for you however, the LSH key means left shift.  It's to shift binary numbers a given number of bits to the left.  Now that mystery is solved.  But I do want to - again salute our troops on Veterans Day.  And my last word to Romney is that Spanish proverb "If three different people in one day call you an ass, but on a bridal!  Does that one register? "Per-fect-a-mente!"

Arrays: My name in computer string lingo would be Marcus(6) and that would be written in an itteration loop to spell it out each time going Marcus(X), but the computer would read it as Marcus(1) for "M" and Marcus(2) for "A" - - and so forth.

A binary string and another binary string if identical will register "the string" using the AND function, and the string with an XOR compared to itself will register all zeros.  OR with all zeros will register the String, and also XOR NOT will register all ones compared to itself.  This translates as follows, EVERY binary value in an XOR NOT string will necessarily register as TRUE.  Don't you feel smarter now?

More on Virtues and Vices

Wrathfulness - Viciousness

Cowardess

Treachery - Betrayal

Averice - Power Hungry

Delusion - Deception of Self and Others

Squandering (of Resources and Opportunities)

Sloth - Laziness

CIA director David Petrayas, an honored military officer, is in the news now because he disclosed that he cheated on his wife and for this reason must resign.  My first thought was to say "Who Cares?  We hired him as CIA chief to do a specific job and not as the head of the Chastity Club".  But the thing is high government officials must be held to a higher standard ad "pillars of the community" and all of that.  Also it is symptomatic of being "morally weak" as J Edger Hoover might put it.  He could be compromized is some gold digger gets him drunk and he starts talking.  It's funny the things will tell a man in a weak moment if he believes that it will impress her.  By contrast we come to Joel Olsteen's sermon this morning- - who says God does not like "peeping and telling" but puts a Curse on him and his posterity.  Well, let's take a look at this.  What do you think the parents of a child who has been molested think about "tatteling"?  Now personally I've found that tatteling on others "just is not a smart thing to do" because the Authorities probably already know what is going on anyhow and choose to look the other way.  So it is a condemnation of the Authorities as much or more than the actual perpeter.  The thing perhaps you should do is meet up with the offending individual in a back alley on some dark night and settle it there.  But we have people like Dennis Prager saying that a certain ammount of macho lust - - just goes along with positions powerful people are in.  Gene Scott has gone so far as to defend Bill Clinton's affair with Monica as well as to defending lying under oath.  I have one question for Joel Olsteen.  Would my "tatteling' on Gene Scott for defending a purgerer be a Sin?  It's no secret after all.  Everybody knows he's this way because they used to see him on TV every night.  And some will say "Well- - you yourself should live up to impecable standards while giving others allowance and "grace".  OK.  Here's a question I guarentee you  people like Joel Olsteen and Neil Savedra are afraid to answer.  "If I am routinely expected to live up to a high moral bar- - to build my character and all- - and yet I am to hold others to a low bar (and they often don't even meet that) over the course of time- - who will be the most moral, credible, virtuous individual?  Is it me or those who criticize me?  Also I knew there Joel Olsteen was going today.  He shifted the camera focus to inside the church.  You know where that one is headed.  Church Pastors say "Don't gossip" but they aren't afraid of gossiping about your church mates- - but rather, gossipping about your Pastor.  (Selah)  After all most gossip is pretty boring.  "Did you know Mr. Kelly has a Gambling problem?"  Did you know Mr. Galliger carries a flask of burbin and takes little nips from it before he goes into a business meeting?"  "Did you see the dress Thelma wore to the PTA meeting last week?"  "Did you know Thelma has been dying her hair for the past two years?"  On the other hand your pastor may have his own secrets.  He might be secretly meeting up with the local mass murderer in town who hasn't been caught yet.  He may get the inspirational message for his Sermons from reading Ayan Rand novels. Or he may have fathered a child out of wedlock.  I still have mixed feelings about Johnathin Edwards regarding this.  Let me ask you this.  What if more people in the early days in Jim Jones congragation had spoken up about "various irregularities" about their Pastor?  Mightn't they have possibly prevented him from getting into Deeper Sin?

So why are these listings a bit different than the previous posting?  Wrathfullness and Out of Control Anger- - is a vice unto itself and I believe one of the seven cardinal vices.  But the thing is when it comes to vices and virtues- - the opposite of one is not necessarily the other.  As follows.  Sin is "missing the mark".  But the BEST one can ever deviate from in terms of a number is Zero.  Zero deviation.  You can't get more accurate than Dead On.  Capish?  Sin goes out in all directions from that Point, but once you get to the Point, you have Arrived.  You have nowhere now that you need go.  Capish?  We spoke of that Karmic Funnel.  As such Good is inherently limited in Quality, but it is not limited in Quantity.  Evil has a way of karmicly limiting itself in Quantity- - but the depravity of Evil on the way down is Unlimited.  You can keep falling and falling forever, like a newtron star hold in that green grid golf course gravity model of the Universe.  Many Vices can be the opposite of one Virtue, and in like manner- - Many Virtues can be the opposite of one Vice.  This is why I strived too hard to arrive at opposites on that last posting.  The question is whether there is any entity below zero.  This is an interesting metaphysical question.  Consider this example.  We know what atnospheric pressure is of fifteen pounds per square inch.  So how come when you weigh a paper clip on your bathroom scale it doesn't come to hundreds of pounds.  We know that while there is an Absolute Zero- - that Zero degrees F is not it.  It could be perhaps this way with Sin some would argue where some "virtue" enters you and "lifts you up to heaven" when you die, defying gravity or something.  We have said the Ether is "The God particle".  Can gravity ever be less than nothing.  Can light refraction "go the other way" like a switch batter in baseball?  What if there were a substance with "less than the standard ammount of the God particle or ether in it?  Maybe??

We have David Petrayas and his womanizing, like so many others.  I was thinking of doing a blog posting on the whole idea of men's reasons for morally straying from their spouse as opposed to a woman's.  Which rationalization is "more moral" I suppose depends on which sex you're a member of.  Men tend tword this God Complex when they get into power and think they're infallible.  In fact they had this whole thing on KFI about "decision making' and how bottom up decisions are generally wiser and sounder than ones made from the Top.  This is because information tends to be selectively filtered up as it moved up the chain of command- - so the person at the Top makes decisions not based on fact.  My view is that people are basically moral and "there is wisdom in numbers".  Others such as this Hobbs philosopher Thom Hartman talks about disagrees- - saying that men at best are peons and at worst beasts- and "need to be reigned in" bu some Almighty King on high.  But back to adultry- - men and women are different from the start.  Men pick a mate and "Hope she stays just the way she was when I married her".  Women look at the thing less from desire but rather as some sort of economic investment, like Mom buying a house.  Maybe it's a "fixer upper" but the women believes there is Economic Potential in her investment later on.  But what happens is that the woman emotionally disengages from her husband's occupation - - and spends her time in fantasy life reading these steamy novels, watching her soap operas, or oogeling some Hollywood hunk on some Entertainment Tonight show.  She doesn't act on her fantasys, at least right away, but these fantacies grow and fesster- - and separate her from her husband till the man looks for a woman who will give him the emotional support he needs - - like the cute secretary at work. Scripture says the Devil is just looking for that "briech in your hedge", a venue of Sin, by which he may enter to do his damage. There aree two axioms that preachers need to bear in mind.  The first is that "Actions have Consequences- - - even for You" and also "Don't make a god out of your Own beliefs".  Of all the Cults out there the one I'm obviously most disturbed about in my Prophecy book was Jim Jones.  He could have been the next white Martin Luther King, if he played his cards right and not let the Devil get a hold of his ministry.  As to the matter of atheism being the cause of all evil- - not so.  Most atheists are very moral, thoughtful people.  We do have evil people of renound in the world.  You know who they are- - - Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Ivan the Terrible, Pizarro, Atilla the Hun.  Among Roman Emperors - - three stand out as particularly depraved- - Nero, Caligula, and Dometian.  Dometian the last of this triad of Evil- - may be the individual listed in the book of Revelation.  But the comon denominator is Evil and not Atheism.  I do not believe you "need God' to be Moral, or even that "God is the source of all Morality".  I reject that.

In my personal life I missed out on shopping at Wall Mart last Wednesday because all the lines on the sign up list had been filled by the time I got around to signing it.  The sign up sheet appears to fill up increasingly rappidly with each passing week.  Bill lent me money for a pack of John Black grape cigarettes, and I used the six dollars I had to buy coffee with, which I of course shared with Bill.  One of the reasons why I flip-flopped on Proposition 32, the Labor Union muzzeling amendment, is because somehow I'm on the UTLA call list and get their little updates I often find informative.  They told me that a NO vote on 32 would insure that Unions would continue to have a voice, which should not be taken away.  People pool their funds together for the mutual benefit of all.  And this is how government should work.  It should be never said that the Chief Executive Officer of a corporation has no idea how the service or product of his corporation - - is even produced.  You must have someone in charge who has acttually Done It for a season in his life.  The Hoi Palloi should rub elbows with the Commoners a little to get the feel of what "day to day life for the average person is really about".  Clearly democracy is a "bottom up" rule where things "trickle up" and not down.  You know the same applies for the economy money flow at large.  But the tea party types will never believe it.  Because to one degree or another Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, and Sheldon Addelson- - believe in a form of "The Divine Right of Kings" where certain people were Born to Power- - because some God they themselves invented - - tells them so.  People in power aren't cowed by something they can crush at will.  As such they are unlikely to have any moral restraints.  So in a sense people like Malcolm X who say "Power comes from the barrel of a gun" aren't far off the mark.  You have to use Force to defeat Force.  (Selah)

Assessing the Damage to the Tea Party

Lennard Voehl is like a drowning man clutching a razor blade.  How do I tell him the real reason why his wife isn't coming to visit him in prison??

-Charles Laughlin

Let's take a look at a few more post mortum election statistics.  Between 1968 and 1988 the Republican running for President garnered a majority of votes most of the time.  Since 1988 the Republicans have garnered only fifty percent but once, in 2004, and by the slimmest margins under dubious voting conditions in Ohio.   We know Miami-Date county went heavily for Obama but even the Miami Cubans voted for Obama this time, which surprises me.  Romney made many mistakes during this campaign.  His biggest one was perhaps appearing aloof.  Saying things like "I Love Firing people" and "Corporations are people, my friend' and pledges to de-fund planned parenthood, were damaging to him.  But even more deadly was his ignoring of the vetterans entirely in the Republican convention.  That was inexplicable.  Also Mitt Romney could have done himself a favor if he'd done the decent thing and visited the flood damage after Hurricane Sandy.  Romney also should have picked either Rob Portman in Ohio to help him in that state, or else Governor Christy of NJ, which would have prevented his being publicly snubbed by Christy two weeks before the election.  That was "good optics" for the President and bad optics for Romney.  In demographics we have more stats for you.  Women went 55 percent for the President as opposed to 43 percent for Mitt Romney.  And women are 53 percent of those who voted.  Among students and those under thirty and also among Latinos the percentages broke down about the same among both groups being about 69 percent for the president and 29 percent for Romney.  Seniors broke about 55 percent for Romney to 45 percent for the President, based largely on social issues, I believe.  Nothing about these numbers is good for the Republicans, as Pat Buchannon points out.  Besides the pot and gay revolutions - - Maryland and Rhode Island approved gambling cassinos, but a similar measure failed in Oregon.

We now move to our "What will they do now?" segment.  John Boehner says he will compromise with the President in closing tax loopholes and giveaways to "raise revenue" for the government.  However the President had been more strident saying "Students and Seniors should not have to suffer economically to pay for a few more yachts for millionaires" or some such thing.  Knowing this President however, he'll give the republicans everything they ask for, and most likely he'll do it ahead of time.  And then he'll call it a victory just like two years ago.  What they are saying is that your average household taxes will go up two to three thousand dollars if the tax laws revert to what they were under Clinton.  They call this a "fiscal cliff' but in reality it's fiscal salvation.  Besides why is going back to the good old days of Bill Clinton such a bad thing?  We were doing just fine, then.  Mitt Romney keeps incorrectly saying there are 23 million unemployed people in America but Stephanie Miller and others point out that the actual number is twelve million, or about half the figure Romney quotes.  The latest buzz is that the Republicans will go on and pass the Dream Act over Rush Limbaugh's howls of protest because even Sean Hannity admits it's inevitable that the republicans get their act together concerning immigration.  As to the stock market drop - - my solution is- - why not turn lemons into lemonade and use this opportunity to buy up as many good stocks as you can?  People would rather complain than act.  Positive economic statistics will continue to roll in for the next several months.

Of the seven deadly sins a number are not on my list.  Sensual Lust is not on my list.  Gluttany is not on my list.  Pride is not on my list.  Anger is not even on my list.  Some are, however.  I don't like Sloth or laziness, and I don't like Averice, either.  This is greed and wanting more power and walking over other people to get it.  Also Envy is one of the seven deadly sins, and is on my list, but as a sub group as Averice and not in its own category.  So what sins to I count as Deadly that the Church does not?  Well - - Treachery for one - - stabbing a friend in the back.  Also I'm against Cowardess.  And then we have Intemperance or being "out of control" or just Foolishness or a lack of prudent or intelligent behavior.  When Anger is broken down it breaks down as either justified- - or else as Huberous or Averice- - - or it is just plain throwing a tantrum or this Intemperance.  We have one more on my list one could call Perversion or Corruption or even Apathy.  Yes, a "failure to get involved" due to just not giving a damn, is a sin.  This is a new one I don't believe we've made room for before.  It's possible to pervert other things besides sex- - - for instance Justice- - or one's good name.  I am reminded we have one remaining - - - Delusion or Self Deceit.  The "right wing echo chamber' and Religion itself falls under this umbrella.  In that spirit we have the logical condemnation of the vastest system of systematic distortion of Reality and lies, the world has ever known, Religion. Below are remarks that were originally in four separate paragraphs.  I combined them here because there is a common thread to all four.

As opposed to twenty years ago, I no longer believe science and religion are compatable.  People become Educated and they learn from false thinking of the past. Many of my beliefs I have altered over the years is not a change in basic character, but merely learning of the true facts.  Unfortunately many have as part of their character an inability or disinclination to learn new truths once they manifest themselves.  (Selah)  Let's look at what religion is for a moment.  I would differentiate religion from metaphysics.  Metaphysics is the study of things that can't be proven.  Perhaps they are vaguely inferred.  For instance we might infer that this world and universe was Created by an outside force.  Now astronomers in times gone by saw the orbet of Uranus and there were certain irregularities about it.  So they inferred the existance of yet another planet.  But nobody then would have gone on to wrrite a paper on the climate of Nepture or its atnosphere, or whether or not it has magnetic poles or which direction it spun on its axis.  And yet religious people assume if you postulate the existance of a hypothetical god or force, this entitles you to write all about him.  Or another example would be a blind baseball pitcher.  Even if he's good as guessing about where to throw the ball, what if the batter changes position?  He decides to bad left handed, or else he squats down thus changing the strike zone.  The blind man would have no way of knowing this.  Here is where metaphysics leaves off and religion takes over.  Peole who believe in metaphysics generally believe the known Trumps the unknown, as superstition takes a back seat to knowledge.  But what if our baseball player persisted in saying he was right in throwing to one side of the plate when the batter had clearly moved to the other.  At that point we would call it "religion".  That's why I say religion has a high potential to be unhealthy.  Chuck Smith criticizes Kirkigard for talking about "an irrational leap of faith" and yet he is actually the only theologian who is honest.  The rest are deluding themselves.  Let's ask ourselves some logical questions.  First of all we have to ask "Is it good to ask questions?"  In the Dr. Phil we have to think of the logical consequences of a question answered Yes or else No.  For instance- - does God have any material manifestation that is quantifiable by scientists?  There are logical consequences to either a yes or a no.  Some may even ask "Is it OK to argue Logic with religion".  Another question is "Do the consequences of our actions or other people's unintended consequences matter?"  Does learned experiance count for anything?  Does religion raise more problems than it solves?  or "Sshould a religion even WORK - - for you in your life".  What are the consequences of Yes and the consequences of No?  Should a religion answer every question you have.  Can this god be "petitioned"?  Why does religion claim to have answers to questions nobody else has?  Could it be that certain questions we DIDN'T have untill such questions were "sold to us" as "needing an answer" such as "Where did the Universe come from?  Is it or is it not true that "God is the source of all Morality".  There are consequences for a Yes and consequences for a No.  Are human beings basically good or basicly evil?  This will impact the philosophy you carry into your religion.    People get hung up on the world "Believe".  I differentiate "Faith" in terms of whether it's Belief - - in some idea as to "how things really are" and Faith in terms of faithfulness or Trust in another person - - or force.  Creo - - is "I believe" in Spanish in terms of "I think - - - ".  Well, people think a lot of things.  It just struck me this morning that one thing you could say about a leader is that he has made a God out of his own thoughts - - his own beliefs, and built an ediface of Dogma around them.  However there are deep thinkers even among the ranks of the religious.  I'l like to talk about Paul Tillich.  He believed God could be weak as well as strong, and malliable and perswadable as well as steadfast and unchanging.  As to the "Eternal Now" we had a preacher at our churh in the sixties who used to say "Now is all you have".  And also in philosophy we were told a definition of religion was "The study of ultimate things".  These are lofty concepts and I wouldn't discard them.  It may have been this "eternal now" that Jesus spoke of when he spoke of "eternal life".  That is- to use Eric Fromme's illustration about "The Journey" rather than the Destination being the thing- - if all we have is Now- - then if we are robbed of "Now" we are in a sense robbed of everything we have.  (Selah)

Here is some other useful information.  You don't need a computer in your phone to carry in your pocket.  A calculatory can perform wonders, so here are things that the Windows Calculator will do - - -

 MEAN or average is computed here.  But flook high numbers, can often render distorted impressions of what you want to really know when you ask, "what is average".

Standard deviation.  This is the two thirds content rule.  In my version, you square ratio of the "levels" at the borders of SD to arrive at Kurtosis.

"Calculator" features Limited what you might call Array math or "selected sequence" addition

ADD or SUM in the STA area is self explanitory

MINUS is used in net income or net balance or even "balance of the day".  Also agrgate gain or loss of anything in absolute ammounts is figured by subtraction - not ratios.

MULTIPLICATION  You can also use multiplicatrion to compute compound probabilities.  For instance the odds of two events EACH with a 3 out of 5 chance of happening, drop to 9 oiut of 25 or only 35% for BOTH happening.  Also timsing can be used in what you could call either the Roulette Wheel formula or the "exploding time bomb" formula  for you old "Deal or No Deal" fans

AND, OR, and XOR  These are used heavily in binary computer calculations

Change the Base, to either two, eight, or sixteen

Degrees, Pi radians, or - -  a system based on 100 instead of 90

DIVISION  Division can also be used to change the base to anything you want in LOG calculations, and also instrumental predicting interest rates where TIME is the unknown variable

LOG and EXP - - - EXP "undoes the log" and is often based on - - -

BASE E, which is that magic number where exponents and root number can exchange position and have the results be unchanged

Fractional Exponents - - are useful in interest rate calculation - - and also in particular doing interest rate formulas where Interest rate is the unknown variable.  But this function is also used in programming musical notes for the computer

DMS - - - degrees, minutes, seconds - - used to change numbers on one side of a decimal point but not the other to either 35 or 5/3 

INVERSE  This is better called "reverse" and is most useful in calculating Arc trig functions.  That is - if you have the measuring components and you want to figure the degrees.

LHS - - this is a mystery function that uses two peramaters which raise two to a power and then times it by the number of your choice.  I'm puzzled why it's here.

N! Two uses for this N! function come immediately to mind.  One is the famous pizza topping selection formula - - the same formula used on computing all posible numbers of small groups for team party games - - it's also the formula for decripting ramdomly scrambled alphabet code in a single key - - and it's also an easy way to do the triangulation formula

HYP - - - Hyperbolic trig functions.  Tangents with HYP - - I believe compute probabilities of success in any scientific expoeriment the more times it is repeated.  I believe it could be used in socialogical statistical sampling to get detailed probabilities given the right base number for "1" which I think is around one percent of the whole.  It was also incorporated in the Morley-Lowitz addition of volicities of matter formula later used by Einstein.

1/x   - - - - This is your simple formula for Inverse numbers, which among other things are very useful in economics - - but a lot of people get screwed up by.  That's because they think fifty percent bigger is the same ratio as fifty percent smaller, and similar wrong assumptions.

X ^ Y   - - - - - This is your basic exponent computation number.  Exponents can be used to compute interest ammounts or inflation ammounts for an extended period of years.

( )  parentheses - - - calculators didn't used to have these - - obviously essential for any form of higher math.  Remember what the default precedents are!

MEM and DAT and related buttons - - used for either storing something in STA memory or else to retrive a number that's there.

Mark This Date - April 19, 2013

If you are looking for some kind of key date for "the rapture" or for Evil to reveal itself you have this date, probably in the late evening PDT.  In that beginning of 1992 dream I had my optimal date guess for this - - Saturday after the fact was April 20th.  The rapture will occur on a Friday night.  Though the moon was not expressly in my dream I "went into myself" and extrapalated in my mind where I thought the moon was then.  I did this quite a number of weeks ago.  My best "guess" was that the moon rose several hours before sunset and if you looked you could see it in the sky in the daytime in the eastern sky.  It was also my belief that this was the Saturday one week after we went on Daylight Savings time.  This one would be two weeks from the old transition date.  On April 19th based on my own tea leaf reading it will be triggered in part because "a powerful person in charge decides to disqualify himself for his post and resigns" but that the person moved in to replace him is worse and we learn this almost immediately.  Other factors in this dream are interesting, of course.  The reference to the "Denise Brown" clone talking about "Remember when we were together at El Toro High school".  There is another scene where I was scheduled to take a drive to "south Orange County" like Laguna Canyon or something - - a trip I wanted to go on just to "get away", but it never happened.  There was another scene in the Dining Room at Brookhurst Jr High- - I thought the tension was passed at six thirty in the evening but one of the old ladies from the Church potluck turns and points to me and says rather coldly I remember, "That man has a decision to make".  I believe this part of the dream has already been fulfilled.  The moon will be in Leo during this period, in case that means anything Astrologically.  It will be a "waxing gibbus moon".  There was that Jeopardy question and April 19th and saying "It's a fine morning in America".  This date is replete with anniversaries.  There is Paul Revere's ride around this time.  There is the Waco raid.  And there was the Oklahoma bombings and on the twentieth there were the Columbine High shootings.  Of course the twentieth is Hitler's birthday.  This makes this period replete with a lot of "stuff" already, and it looks like we're in for more.  As you know this dream begins when I overslept on a Saturday morning and it was already 25 minutes to nine when I woke up, and I learned I had missed breakfast.  As this date approaches I would watch closely.  If I'm not mistaken it's a time when Passover is celebrated AFTER this date but Easter is celebrated a whole month earlier.  But you can check me on that.  I could be wrong.  I'm pretty sure I'm right about Easter.  If you want a weather report for the day, warm and sunny - - but not hot.  Not a cloud in the sky, but perhaps just a little smoggy.  Some things in the dream like the radical remodeling of the Bosc house even to re-arranging walls and painting the interior bright colors- - - I don't know what this means.  I'm not going to cover the whole dream again here.  But I have always thought there was some "event" that Friday night probably- - - that, as you were, is "time I'd like to have back".  (Selah)

Our Liberalism Must Be More Proactive

You know I hope the Democrats will be given sufficient time by the media to sort out and expose all the lies told at that disgusting exhibition by the Republicans this past week in Tampa.  One TV evangelist used to say that the first thing you need to do in evangelism is “draining the swamp, before you can even think about laying the foundation, which is Christ”.  Apparently Romney told his people “not to be bothered by the fact checkers.  We aren’t listening to them this week”.  I believe that. In other lies told at the Republican convention it seems that this steel plant built in a field in Indiana, had at least six other investors besides Bain capital.  Mitt Romney left that out.  Also this plant, like the Olympics, got considerable government help such that a county in India had to dramatically raise their property taxes to cover the cost of constructing access roads to and from the steel plant.  It was pointed out today that two more corporations associated with Bain Capital just went bankrupt today- - and Randy was talking about one that went bankrupt in 2002.  Also Romney was talking about “getting two nine dollar jobs instead of your old $22.00 per hour job” but in fact, the average salary in Staples is $8.50 or something.  I have heard before that Staples really didn’t take off economically till it had “recovered from the trauma” of dealing with Bain Capital.  And also Gingrich used to want to separate himself from President Reagan after all that Iran – Contra stuff.  But now that he’s dead he’ll say anything the tea party wants him to say about President Reagan.  Of course Oliver North was in charge of laundering drug money through Saudi Arabia, yet he dresses up in his military uniform and everybody thinks he’s a hero.  And of course you know about that GM plant in Wisconsin that went belly up in December of 2008 while Bush was still President.  Therefore the plant was already GONE by the time President Obama assumed office the next month, so he could not possibly help that company.  That is, of course except in the mind of Paul Ryan, who blames the President shamelessly.  I’ve said it before.  The amount of sheer crap this President has had to suffer at the hands of the tea party is nothing less than disgusting, and something which should never, never happen in America.  If it were me I wouldn’t have cared a bit if they called me an “angry Black man”.  I’d take decisive action to shut the lying mother fuckers up.  You know, the Presidency has a lot of prerogatives, if the President has the will to use them.  Or to put it more succinctly “I’d give the bastards something to cry about”.

We have another police shooting to report.  This one is by a US Marshal.  Normally marshals are those people who escort you in and out of court aren’t they and keep decorum and all of that.  But they pack heat, and this guy was packing even though he wasn’t un uniform and in fact nobody knew his identity.  He got in a physical altercation with his wife in the Fairfax district.  There were a bunch of friends of the woman there and one guy took it upon himself to separate the then unknown US Marshal from his wife and this one guy managed to get him about thirty feet away.  Then as he turned back the guy began following him- and somehow the Marshal got knocked down.  But it was a full minute later when the Marshal pulled his gun and shot the rescuer in the left shoulder.  Now the guy began walking fast away for fear, and the guy got out his gun and shot him four more times, killing him.  He never let the guy he killed know either his identical as a Marshal and took steps to conceil his firearm.  This incident took place back in July and today Federal Charges from the Justice Department were filed.  Some on the political right are fond of saying that Eric Holder is no good and good for nothing, and they positively loath cases like this.  Later David Cruise told some story about some woman who wanted to drop off her children and ended up getting killed by five cops.  I don’t know the details on that one.  Of course the Marshal lied about everything and if they hadn’t had a video of it the truth would never be known.  One wonders how much “testa-lying” is done by the cops.

Melanie on Days of our Lives is writing what I call a poisoned pen letter to the parole department to keep Nick Fallon in prison a while longer.  Brady and Chad pressured her into it because she didn’t want to do it.  There is something very cold about a letter, as opposed to talking to someone face to face.  I wouldn’t like it if it happened to me.  I don’t remember this case too well but Hope and Julie are strongly urging that he be paroled and point out that his life has already been threatened once in prison.  I don’t really remember this case but apparently it involved being mentally incompacitated by drugs and killing Trent, who is Melanie’s evil father who forced her to have sex with strange men while still in high school.  Nick sought to protect her from that.  A lot of time you don’t realize in conversations that “the waters have been poisoned” and they don’t want to even relate with you because they are “all talked out” because someone who claims to know you well has been filling their head with a lot of crap.

Some people utter lines of utter wisdom despite themselves.  You’ve heard the story about the husband who comes to the Pastor’s office plaintifly saying “You know, Pastor.  I don’t get it.  When I first met my wife she was bubbly, exhuberent and full of life.  But now she’s downcast and never fixes herself up and kind of drags through the day”.  And the Pastor aptly responds, “You JUST told me the effect marriage to YOU had on her”.  Romney gave a good line last night I’d like to re-work.  “You know you’ve picked the wrong religion when the best feeling you ever had about Christ was when you first came to the altar to Confess him and get saved”.  People know a bad fit when they see it.  I never liked the “feng chue: of my parent’s house in Laguna Hills they moved to in late 1990.  The timing of the move is curious.  Earlier in the year I and my parents went to “mission study meetings” to help shape the course of our Church for the future.  But it was within ten days of moving into their new house the new pastor, the Asshole from El Paso took over.  They didn’t waste time in selling our old house we had lived in the past - - in the neighborhood of three decades.  They sold the place for $181,000 – which is the sort of price you get for a place you’re planning to break up and use for fire wood.  I think the place got sold with all dispatch- - while they were still living in it.  In November sometime there was some article about deciding on a new pastor - - soon or now or.  And my Dad sent out these vibes like he already knew who it was, and I said “You know who it is- - don’t you?” excitedly.  Then he clammed up.  Some of the tracing of subsequent “behavior patterns” is curious.  As to the house itself- - it’s downright ugly from the outside with a horrible roof line.  It has all these tiny windows- which my Mom used to hate. It was over-grown even by my standards, particularly that long, wandering hedge path to the front door.  Add a few cob webs and the place reminds me one of those “King of the realm” houses on a perch of land- - - and it had things about it my Mom formerly hated such as these step up and step down bits my Mom used to say “If we ever had a paraplegic over here that would be a definite problem.  I hated the black venetian blinds, and with the square tile pattern of the floor and subsequent furniture covers- - one is overwhelmed with a sensation of squares and lines.  I don’t like it that every room is the exact same color- - kind of this pervaisive off white. The outside colors clash.  There is this “marine blue” window trim –a color I’ve always hated anyhow, with kind of a beige.  The inside of the house would strike you immediately as “over-sized” and it had this really high, cavernous roof line my Dad formerly talked against.  When we moved into out old house- - my Dad wanted a house with “not too high a ceiling which wastes heat energy”.  He was fuel conscious in those days.  It almost reminds me of the house Jimmy Stewart used to throw bricks at when he was younger saying, “I wouldn’t even live there as a ghost”.  Of course now we have this rather incompatable, ill suited relic- - as the Republican Nominee for President.  Chain saws will have to work overtime just to cut away the underbrush.  I’ll tell you this.  I thank God every day that Barock Obama is President now instead of a Republican such as Bush.  America is in much safer hands.  President Obama is “the thin blue line” between sanity and complete tea party madness, which will be unleashed in full if Romney assumes office on January 20^th.   The best way to “Impeach” Romney- - is don’t elect him to begin with.  If we don’t solve thie “Romney problem” now- - it will be a lot harder to deal with later on.
